It’s time to get more acquainted with the leaders of the new school that make up the 2025 XXL Freshman Class. After Samara Cyn, Ray Vaughn, YTB Fatt, BabyChiefDoIt, 1900Rugrat, Gelo, Loe Shimmy, Eem Triplin, Lazer Dim 700, Nino Paid and Ian all clapped back at the haters in the Mean Comments, there’s another way their personalities shine. Get ready to learn more about these rappers letter-by-letter in their ABCs.
What Do Freshmen Do in Their ABCs?
The premise is simple. It’s a word association game in which each Freshman goes through the entire alphabet and shares the first thing that comes to mind for each letter. It’s a simple way to get familiar with each member of the class, who hail from diverse backgrounds and locations, and learn something new about them in the process. Their off-the-cuff answers range from hilarious to heartbreaking and everything in between, and give fans a look behind the rapper and into the person.
Each Freshman gives insight into their past, present and future goals in 26 letters. It’s not as easy as it sounds, but it’s highly entertaining.
